The champions slumped to a shock 3-2 home defeat at the hands of RB Leipzig despite taking a two goal lead. It was a remarkable performance from the visitors who had their coach sent off in the 26th minute and looked to be heading for defeat as the home team scored two quick goals in the 39th and 45th minute. At the end of the first half there were seven additional minutes which allowed Leipzig to pull a goal back through midfielder Kevin Kampl. If the champions thought they were going to restore their two goal lead in the second half, they were mistaken. The visitors’ dangerous striker Lois Openda had other ideas as he equalised for his team in the 52nd minute. He was not finished though and scored the winner in the 80th minute. Despite Leverkusen throwing everything at the visitors they were unable to find the back of the net which resigned them to their first defeat in 36 matches.
Bayern Munich took full advantage of Lverkusens loss on Saturday as they easily beat Freiburg 2-0. In what was Vincent Kompany’s first home match in charge, the team did not let him down as they were clinical in their play. Freiburg was the only side that Harry Kane had not scored against last season but he quickly corrected that as he scored in the 38th minute through a penalty. It was a controversial moment in the game as the handball was a contentious one that could have gone either way.When club legend Thomas Müller came on as a substitute he broke the appearance record for Bayern and capped the magical moment with a winning goal in the 78th minute. Freiburg were awarded a penalty in the 96th minute but unfortunately missed with their attempt to hand the three points to Bayern.
Leipzig win but Dortmund held to goalless draw
RB Leipzig showed they are going to be real title contenders as they finally ended the 35 match unbeaten streak of champions Bayer Leverkusen. They showed tremendous fighting spirit as they went down 2-0 but clawed their way back to win 3-2 thanks to a brace from their top scorer last season, Lois Openda. Borussia Dortmund have only themselves to blame as they dropped two points in their goalless draw with Werder Bremen. They were ill disciplined throughout the match as they received six yellow cards and a red card. This prevented them from stringing any meaningful phases in the match and as a result failed to find the net. Stuttgart are yet to record their first win of the season as they played to an exciting 3-3 draw with Mainz. They dropped two points after allowing the visitors to equalise in the 94th minute.
Early struggles continue for promoted teams
Newly promoted sides Holstein Kiel and St. Pauli both started life in top flight football with defeats and this trend continued to the second round of matches. St Pauli lost 1-0 to Union Berlin on Friday night while Holstein Kiel were beaten 2-0 by Wolfsburg on Saturday. Bochum fell to a second loss of the season as they went down 2-0 to Borussia Monchengladbach which is not a good sign as they only just survived relegation last season. These are the only three teams without a point after two games.

Race for the Golden Boot
Last season’s Golden Boot winner finally got off the mark as he scored from the penalty spot in Bayerns 2-0 win over Freiburg. Hoffenheim’s Andrej Kramaric is the surprise leader with four goals after the Croatian added another goal to his opening round hattrick. There are a host of players with two goals but it will take a brave man to bet against Harry Kane retaining the Golden Boot this season.
